In looking at the geoserver documentation, it shows that a bounding box
filter would be sent by appending the following to the URL request:<br>
<br>
<tt><span class="code-comment">&filter=<ogc:Filter<o:p></o:p></span><br>
</tt><tt><span class="code-comment">xmlns:ogc=<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://ogc.org">"http://ogc.org"</a>
xmlns:gml=<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.opengis.net/gml">"http://www.opengis.net/gml"</a>><o:p></o:p></span><br>
</tt><tt><span class="code-comment"><ogc:BBOX><o:p></o:p></span><br>
</tt><tt><span class="code-comment"><ogc:PropertyName>the_geom</ogc:PropertyName><o:p></o:p></span><br>

</tt><tt><span class="code-comment"><gml:coordinates>-73.99,40.76
-73.92,40.80</gml:coordinates><o:p></o:p></span><br>
</tt><tt><span class="code-comment"></gml:Box><o:p></o:p></span><br>
</tt><tt><span class="code-comment"></ogc:BBOX><o:p></o:p></span><br>
<span class="code-comment"></ogc:Filter><br>
</span></tt><br>
This is quite wordy and I was wondering if I could user the shorthand
version "&BBOX=" instead of this detailed ogc:Filter string.<br>

WFS layers include this automatically. Can you provide an example of
what's causing problems for you so we can better understand it?
